tried upgrading an old box from 6.4 to 6.5 to 6.6.
process worked like a charm until last upgrade loaded some firmware update and 
I restarted.

hardware is a Gigabyte Celeron motherboard with an ssd and an hd. There is an 
extra pci network card.
GA-J1900M-D2P micro-ITX

The system locks at this point:

> root on sd0a (drive_id.a) swap on sd0b dump on sd0b
> NMI … going to debugger
> _kernel_lock+0xa2:      movl    kernel_lock+0x200,%edx
> ddb{1}>

I cannot boot in safe mode as it freezes at the same point.

I can boot into bsd.rd, which I assume to be still at version 6.5

any pointers would be appreciated

regards to all
